This Sunday, October 23rd, the Hester Street Fair is partnering with New York food blog Grub Street to present what is now an annual street food festival. Admission is free for the massive feast, which last year drew over 13,000 eaters. But this year the event has greatly expanded by taking over the tennis courts adjacent to Hester, creating four times more space. And they're gonna need it: 75 restaurants, food trucks, purveyors and vendors are participating this time (up from 50 last year), plus over 30 shopping vendors.

Free Drinks Tonight! But You Already Knew That, Right?
Since you subscribe to GothamList, our FREE daily events and deals newsletter, you already know about the two hours of free mojitos that will be poured out tonight at a certain Manhattan restaurant.

But what about those poor, benighted souls whose inbox is not blessed by the money-saving tips brought by GothamList every weekday morning at cock crow? Should we just leave them for dead, senselessly throwing away their savings on overpriced cocktails and bad brisket? Probably. But as a gesture of good will, those savvy readers who have yet to subscribe to GothamList can do so now and get today's email newsletter (and mojito details) within minutes. Did we mention that it's free, just like Gothamist? Click here to get in the cut.
